These cabinets are designed to support a countertop mounted on top of it. These include cabinets such as drawer banks, corner cabinets, Lazy Susan cabinets, and sink base cabinets. Also known as “lower cabinets.”

There are different base cabinets based on the structure of your kitchen. Corner cabinets are designed to utilize storage space in a tricky part of the counter. The cabinetry around the kitchen sink has to support the additional weight of a sink along with the countertop and accommodate the plumbing. In the United States, most of the cabinetry is available in 3″ incremental sizes and kitchen designers can plan around your major appliances and kitchen walls.
